Psalm 67:2 (ESV)

2 that your way may be known on earth, your saving power among all nations.

The desire of this author that God’s saving power be experienced worldwide, is very strong. After all, that was also God’s intention with the blessing that Abram once received: in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed (Genesis 12:3; cf. Jeremiah 33:9).

Getting to know God’s way involves having an eye and a heart for God’s commandments. Having discovered how precious God’s words are, how liberating and glorious his redemption is, you grant this to everyone, right? The author of this Psalm looks surprisingly far. It is exemplary for the believer and the church today.
